Chapter 115: Tactical Shift

As soon as Meng Cun was monitored by us, the effect was as immediate as if the patient had been given antibiotics. There were immediately fewer sneak attacks by Vietnamese agents.

Of course, this is not an immediate end.

There are two reasons for this, one is that Vietnam's villages are not just Qua Meng, Vietnam at this time is a relatively primitive country, large and small villages are everywhere, and any one of them may provide hiding places for Vietnamese agents. However, this point is easy to solve, although the quality of our troops is not very good, but the advantage is that there are many people......

This is not? In this area, we are stationed with a regiment, and we can just divide the large and small villages in Vietnam as a company unit and be responsible for surveillance.

It's surveillance, but it's not just surveillance, just like we did last night, and sometimes it's inevitable to lurk for a night. But...... The soldiers also knew that this was a matter related to their own lives, so they were happy to endure this hardship.

Another reason is that many Vietnamese agents are hiding in the jungle.

This part of the Vietnamese army agents is more difficult to deal with, because they are hiding in the jungle, and finding them in that place is like looking for a needle in a haystack...... What's more, even if they find them, they may not be able to catch them, those Vietnamese agents grew up in the jungle, and when they were dealing with the French and Americans, they fought jungle guerrilla warfare, so our army has never had such experience and training, so searching inside is undoubtedly a short attack on the other's strengths.

Many people also understand this, so they are so afraid to do it.

I later learned that someone had done just that. And it was still at night...... Some people may think that this is silly. But in this era of politics...... Someone else would do it. The results can be imagined. A company of people brought it up, and after being beaten up and coming back, they didn't even know how many opponents there were.

What we can do is not only to cordon off the village at night, but also to send people to stand guard on the main roads and small roads outside the village during the day, in the name of protecting the safety of the villagers' property, but in fact to control the contact between the villagers and the Vietnamese army agents, and prevent the villagers from providing food to the Vietnamese army agents in the jungle.

"How many days can Vietnamese agents live in the mountains without food?" That's what I asked Chen Yiyi.

"It depends on whether there is food reserves!" Chen Yiyi replied: "If it was before...... It was the era of war with the Yankees. Everyone is used to hiding in the jungle, and they are used to storing food and daily necessities in the tunnels, and it is not a problem to hide for a month or two. But now...... Because life is gradually normalizing, and I didn't expect China to attack so quickly, plus there is no extra food to transport up the mountain, so ...... If you have a food reserve, you can hide for a week or two, and if you don't have a food reserve, you can hide for two or three days! ”

"Hmm!" I'm quite satisfied with Chen Yiyi's answer, in this case...... That means that it won't be long before they're afraid they'll be starving and won't have much combat power.

"Second squad leader!" At this time, the reader raised a question: "How could this Yue devil not expect the Chinese to attack?" ”

I'm also very curious about this, and our national leaders have been making international noises again and again, such as "We'll have to wait and see!" "We Chinese talk count! "That's the case. But Vietnam still thinks that we will not attack?

Chen Yiyi smiled: "Isn't it because of the Soviet Union?" The Soviets confidently said that as long as they were there, China would not dare to attack! ”

"Oh!" It was only when they heard this that the warriors suddenly realized.

"It seems that this Su Xiu has also done us a great favor!" The reader laughed: "If they weren't bragging." The more devils may be fully prepared! ”

"This Su Xiu is not a good bird!" Xiao Shi, who was more well-informed, interjected: "I heard that they have deployed a million troops in Mongolia, no wonder the Yue devils think that we dare not fight!" ”

"What's the matter?" Wu Zhijun raised his head: "Then Su Xiu doesn't dare to put a fart yet?" ”

"That's it!" Shen Guoxin clenched his fists: "It doesn't matter what Su Xiu or Yue Xiu he is, as long as he provokes us, he will fight together!" ”

……

I didn't say much, maybe it was because the news was not very well informed in this era, or maybe the superiors deliberately didn't say much...... In short, the fighters did not know much about it.

What I do know is that the Soviet Union did station a large number of troops in Mongolia, and it is not clear whether there were 1 million or not, and some people think that this number is mostly bragging, intended to bluff China so that China will not dare to send troops.

Originally, China was indeed not suitable for sending troops in such a pattern, and the situation was obvious, with the million-strong army of the Soviet Union in the north and the elite Vietnamese troops in the south who had fought several tough battles, while our country had just come out of ten years of civil strife, and it was time to recuperate...... In case of being attacked by the north and the south, the consequences can be said to be unimaginable.

But......

At that time, the United States was in the midst of a Cold War with the Soviet Union, and a few years earlier the United States had just been driven back in Vietnam...... Countries talk only about interests, although China and the United States have had many unpleasant situations before, and even in the US-Vietnam War a few years ago, China and the United States were still enemies. However, time has passed, and the enemy's enemy is a friend, so it is inevitable that China and the United States will stand on the same front, and it is also inevitable that the United States will send a fleet to contain the Soviet Union, and it is also inevitable that the Soviet Union will throw a mouse......

Thus, a dead game of chess was played.

Of course, all this does not need to be told to the fighters...... Actually, even if I say it, some of the fighters don't believe it and can't accept it. Because...... In their minds, the United States at this time was still afraid of "American imperialism."

I think this is probably one of the reasons why the superiors don't say or don't talk about it.

Then I frowned again, the Vietnamese army with food reserves could hide for two weeks...... I'm afraid that it will only be about ten days before our army withdraws to China, doesn't that mean that those Vietnamese army agents can completely support our army until they return home? Or to put it another way...... And some agents can harass us the whole time?

Don't underestimate these Vietnamese agents, thinking that they are only a small part of the Vietnamese army agents. It is often this small part that is the most important part of the Vietnamese army's agents, otherwise how can they use food reserves?

"The first platoon commander and the second platoon commander ......" At this time, we heard the correspondent Xiao Liu shouting at us: "The platoon commanders have a meeting at the company headquarters, and the superiors have new instructions!" ”

"Yes!" A few of us answered, got up and walked towards the company.

When they arrived at the company headquarters, the company commander and the instructor were looking at the telegram, and they were still discussing something with each other, as if the telegram was still a bit difficult to understand.

Sure enough, after the three of us sat down, Company Commander Luo said to the instructor, "It's better for you to read it first!" ”

"It's good!" The instructor then walked up to us with a telegram and said: "Comrades, this is an order just given by the superiors. The division headquarters ordered us to ...... After capturing every region or town, it is necessary to quickly adjust the deployment of troops, rely on key points, organize defense, do a good job of coordination, and set good contact signal marks to prevent counterattacks and sneak attacks by Vietnamese agents. ”

There's nothing wrong with this paragraph...... This seems to be more of a cliché, such as what to rely on, organizational defense, etc...... If we had waited until this order came, we would have died.

Then the instructor changed his words, and then read: "At the same time, we must also organize small detachments to take care of everything in pieces, adopt the methods of concentrating on small units, scattering small units, encircling and fortifying, searching and destroying latent, and lurking against sneak attacks, and use such means as beating, bombing, and burning to exterminate the Vietnamese army agents hiding around our position!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Scar and the others couldn't help but be stunned.

The strange thing is not how to deal with the Vietnamese agents, the order of the superior is actually already being done, that is, it is to be done in pieces. Strangely, this order emphasizes "beat, bomb, burn...... In the past, we were asked to strictly observe the three major disciplines and pay attention to the eight points of attention, and we had to take care of every grass and tree in Vietnam, which made us have no way to do anything about the Vietnamese troops hiding in the jungle.

Isn't it? Since we want to protect every grass and tree in Vietnam, and we want to annihilate the Vietnamese agents hiding inside, there is only one way, which is to pull the troops into the jungle...... Needless to say, what is the result, we love every plant and tree in Vietnam, but we have to pay for blood and lives, and it is these plants and trees that Vietnamese agents use to fight...... Is there such?

"Instructor!" I still asked with some disbelief, "This command...... Does it mean that we can fight, blow up, and burn it? I heard you right! ”

The instructor didn't speak, and in fact I don't think he knew how to say it, because it seemed to contradict what he had emphasized earlier.

"Comrades!" Company Commander Luo stood up to relieve the instructor, he said: "The three disciplines and eight points of attention are still needed, but ...... These are the only things that apply to the Vietnamese people, and when dealing with the enemy, we should be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves. What does the current situation mean that there are basically no main forces of the enemy in the occupied areas of our army? It shows that the enemy must have dispersed, broken into pieces and scattered into the jungle to fight guerrilla warfare with us! This is a major change in the enemy's situation, and it is necessary for us to adopt a new method of warfare and change from regular warfare against the enemy to guerrilla warfare against the enemy. ”

"Company Commander Luo is right!" The instructor continued: "From the perspective of the overall battlefield, our army has surrounded the scattered enemy on a large scale, and it is a large net that encircles all the enemies in this huge net. But...... The enemy has been dispersed, and we must also change according to the change of the enemy's situation, and we must also turn this big net into pieces and turn it into many small nets, so as to trap the cunning fish! That is, tactically we must use guerrilla warfare against the enemy's guerrilla warfare......"

I have to admit that Company Commander Luo and the instructor are very eloquent, and they say so much, in fact, it is just one sentence: let go and deal with the Vietnamese agents in the jungle.

Obviously, the superiors are going to take the Vietnamese army agents under the knife, and the superiors finally realize the seriousness of this problem! (To be continued......)
